Internal vs External
Fertilization & Development
Fertilization
• Fertilization is the union of egg and
sperm
– Egg (n) + Sperm (n) = zygote 2n
External Fertilization
• External fertilization occurs outside of
female parent
– Fish
– Amphibians
– Aquatic vertebrates
External Fertilization
• Produce many eggs in water
because:
– Eggs are laid in the water
– There is no parental care
– Fertilization & development occur outside
the female body
Internal Fertilization
• Internal fertilization occurs inside the female
parent
– Reptiles (lay many eggs)
– Birds (lay only a few eggs)
– Mammals
• development takes place
Internal Fertilization
• Chance of survival is high
• Zygote forms inside the female body.
Parthenogenesis
• Eggs develop without fertilization
– Bees
– There are three main categories for honey bees.
• The queen is the center of the hive because she is
responsible for laying eggs. She mates once and retains
the sperm for the rest of her reproductive life. When the
queen lays her eggs, she deposits them in different
sized receptacle.
The smaller cells, about 5mm in diameter, contain
fertilized eggs destined to become sterile female workers.
– The larger cells, about 7mm in diameter, contain future
–
Hermaphrodites
• Hermaphrodites have both male and
female reproductive organs
– Hydra, snail,
– Earthworms are example of hermaphrodite.
Although they possess ovaries and testes, they
have a protective mechanism against self
fertilization and can only function as a single
sex at one time.
• Sexual reproduction occurs when two worms meet
and exchange gametes, copulating on damp nights
during warm seasons. Fertilized eggs are protected
Hermaphrodites
• Protandry: When the organism starts as
a male, and changes gender to a female
later in life.
– The Clownfish
• Generally one anemone contains a 'harem',
consisting of a large female, a smaller
reproductive male, and even smaller nonreproductive males.
• If the female is removed, the reproductive male
will change sex and the largest of the nonreproductive males will mature and become
reproductive. It has been shown that fishing
pressure can change when the switch from male
to female occurs, since fishermen naturally prefer
to catch the larger fish.
Development of the fertilized
egg
• External Development
– Develops outside the parent
– Aquatic development: develops in water.
Egg get nutrition from yolk sac.
– Terrestrial Development: land
development
The Egg
• Eggs have
– Amnion – fluid
filled sac (moist,
cushion)
– Yolk sac – nutrition
– Allantois – derived
from gut lining.
Filled with blood
vessels (gas &
nutrient exchange
**similar to
placenta in
mammals**)
– Chorion –
membrane
surround embryo
yolk sac
Internal Development
• Internal Development occurs
in mammal inside female
1. Placental – mammals
that possess an internal
structure that forms
joining of embryo and
mother (mice, cats dogs,
whale, human)
•
•
Allows for longer internal
development
Exchange of O2, CO2 &
nutrients between mother
and embryo
Non-placental Mammals
1. Non-placental – have external development
• Marsupials & monotremes  egg laying
mammals
